Today's Urban Design Observation: Parks & Rec Workers Police Barricade Hack
Posted in: UncategorizedRemember those police barricades I wrote about earlier? The Parks & Recreation employees who maintain this park on the Lower East Side’s Chrystie Street have snagged a few. Someone has removed the gates that seal off this fenced-in soccer field, which are usually locked at night. With the gates gone, people have been bringing their dogs to run around on the field. So the P&R folks have been blocking off all four entrances with the barricades, which fit perfectly.
Well, maybe not perfectly. As I was snapping these photos…
…a woman and her dog wriggled through the gap around the barricade on the other side to get onto the field.
